11-26 homework argument 169

zcsdtcUID: 2875047

The author suggests that Pierce University should provide jobs for the spouses of the new faculty member. This will help Pierce University obtain new professors. The suggestion is based on the experience of Bronston College, which is also located in a small town. Although the suggestion seems to be applicable and reasonable, it may be vulnerable in some aspects.

First, the author introduced the studies from Bronston College, asserting the professors are happier living in small towns when their spouses are also employed in the same geographic area. How many professors did they survey? Where did they work before? And the ratio of professors who accorded with the results is not told. If the professors who were questioned are all living in small town, the results may not be reliable. These professors has lived in towns for a long time and just get used to the suburban life so they believe it is small towns that are fit for inhabiting. However, those who work and live in large cities may have a different answer to the question.

In addition, even if the professors attending in the investigation are both from large cities and small towns, is that their spouses work in the same geographic area really important for them? Maybe that is just a wish for them. Even though it cannot come true, they would be happy when their work is successful. So this conclusion could not really work in Pierce University. Even it is true, they should be happier living large city when their couples are working in the same region. So what is really matter is not small towns or large cities, it is they could work in the same area.
When they could work together both in small towns and large cities, the answer is unknown. The suggestion may not work.

Thirdly, the difference between Bronston College and Pierce University is not known. The research level and condition of Bronston College may be far too higher than Pierce University, so this suggestion may not be suitable for Pierce University. And if the work Pierce University provides for the spouses can satisfy them is a problem for the University, so the suggestion may just be a waste of money and time.

So the suggestion should be reconsidered carefully if it is worthy done. Pierce University may focus on the more important aspect, like the quality of management, the atmosphere of academic, etc. Then considering this suggestion is appropriate.
